It is to be noted however that when a carbon dioxide coolant which is compressed under high pressure is used, the plate thickness or the like of the closed container should be increased, but the use of the flow-direction restricting means 80 of the embodiment can secure a sufficient amount of lubrication oil without further increases in the weight, thickness, length and size of the compressor 1.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a fluid machine, and, particularly, to a fluid machine which reserves a lubrication oil below a closed container.
- A closed type compressor which is one example of this type of fluid machine is used in a refrigeration air conditioner or the like to compress a coolant as a working fluid. This coolant normally includes a lubrication oil. This lubrication oil serves to seal a slide surface in the compressor as well as lubricate the slide surface, a bearing and so forth.
- When the lubrication oil is not supplied to the slide surface or the like, however, a failure occurs in the compressor. There is known a compressor which overcomes a problem originating from exhaustion of the lubrication oil (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
H10-47269 - According to the foregoing related art, a pipe which bypasses an electric motor and connects a scroll unit to a reservoir for lubrication oil is provided, and is laid out on the outer surface side of the electric motor.
- To overcome the problem originating from exhaustion of the lubrication oil, attention needs to be paid to avoidance of increases in the weight, thickness, length and size of a compressor. This is because there is a demand for making smaller and lighter a compressor which is used in a refrigeration air conditioner or the like and reserve a lubrication oil below a closed container so that the compressor can easily be disposed in general houses.
- The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is an object of the invention to provide a fluid machine which can be made smaller and lighter while improving the reliability of the lubrication performance with a simple mechanism.
- To achieve the object, a fluid machine of the present invention comprises a closed container having a cylindrical body part, a discharge chamber formed above the cylindrical body part, and a reservoir for lubrication oil, formed below the cylindrical body part, a discharge pressure acting in the cylindrical body part; a rotating shaft extending in the cylindrical body part and rotatably supported via a bearing; an electric motor that is accommodated in the cylindrical body part, drives the rotating shaft by energization thereof, and has a rotor around the rotating shaft, the rotor being rotated together with the rotating shaft, and a stator around the rotor, the stator rotating the rotor; a scroll unit that is accommodated in the cylindrical body part above the electric motor and is driven by the rotating shaft to execute a sequence of processes from intake of a working fluid to discharge thereof; a frame member that is disposed between the scroll unit and the electric motor, fixes the scroll unit and supports the rotating shaft via the bearing; and flow-direction restricting means that restricts a direction of lubrication oil flowing downward toward the electric motor from the scroll unit to inhibit the lubrication oil supplied from the reservoir to the bearing from flowing toward the stator,
the flow-direction restricting means including a guide member fixed to a top surface of the rotor and guiding the downward-flowing lubrication oil to the top surface, and a discharge passage for causing the lubrication oil guided to the top surface to flow to the reservoir. - According to the fluid machine, a lubrication oil in the reservoir is supplied to the bearing to lubricate and cool the bearing, and the flow-direction restricting means restricts the direction of the lubrication oil flowing downward toward the electric motor from the scroll unit to inhibit the flow of the lubrication oil toward the stator. The flow-direction restricting means is configured to include the guide member which is fixed to the top surface of the rotor and guides the downward-flowing lubrication oil to the top surface of the rotor, and the discharge passage which causes the lubrication oil guided to the top surface of the rotor to flow to the reservoir.
Accordingly, the lubrication oil is all led to the reservoir promptly without being scattered in the body part. As a result, the lubrication oil can be collected efficiently, and a failure of the fluid machine originating from insufficient supply of the lubrication oil can surely be prevented with a simple mechanism having the guide member provided, thus making it possible to improve the reliability of the fluid machine. - What is more, scattering of the lubrication oil in the body part can be prevented, suppressing contact of the downward-flowing lubrication oil with the working fluid and inclusion of the lubrication oil therein so that the oil circulation rate (OCR) of the lubrication oil flowing outside the fluid machine can be suppressed. This suppression of the oil circulation rate improves the efficiency of each heat exchanger of the refrigeration system, enabling achievement of energy reduction of the refrigeration system.
- As a preferable mode, in the fluid machine, the guide member is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom portion caulked to the top surface and an opening opened toward the frame member.
- With this configuration, the guide member is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape whose opening is opened toward the frame member and whose bottom portion is caulked to the top surface of the rotor, so that the oil circulation rate can be suppressed with a simple mechanism of having the guide member and the rotor integrally assembled, thus making it possible to achieve a smaller and lighter fluid machine and reduction of the manufacture cost thereof.
- As a preferable mode, the fluid machine further comprises a partition mechanism that encloses the guide member to separate a working fluid discharged from the scroll unit and the downward-flowing lubrication oil in order to inhibit flow of the working fluid into the guide member.
- As this configuration has the partition mechanism that prevents flow of a working fluid into a guide member, the downward-flowing lubrication oil is prevented from coming into contact with the working fluid to be included therein, so that the oil circulation rate can be reduced surely, thus ensuring more reliable prevention of a failure of the fluid machine originating from exhaustion of the lubrication oil.
- As a preferable mode, in the fluid machine, the discharge passage is formed penetrating the bottom portion and the rotor.
- With this configuration, the downward-flowing lubrication oil is smoothly discharged to the reservoir via the discharge passage formed penetrating the bottom portion of the guide member and the rotor, making it possible to collect the lubrication oil more efficiently and prevent a failure of the fluid machine originating from exhaustion of the lubrication oil more reliably.
- As a preferable mode, in the fluid machine, the working fluid is a coolant comprised of carbon dioxide.
- With this configuration, a coolant comprised of carbon dioxide which is compressed under high pressure is used as the working fluid, so that even when the plate thickness or the like of the closed container is increased, a sufficient amount of lubrication oil can be secured without increasing the weight, thickness, length and size of the fluid machine.

When the armature winding 9 is excited, therotor 7 rotates with the rotation of a magnetic field generated by the armature winding 9, and rotates together with the rotatingshaft 12. An upper end side of the rotatingshaft 12 is rotatably supported on a main shaft frame (frame member) 14 via abearing 16. - Meanwhile, the lower end side of the rotating
shaft 12 is rotatably supported on asub shaft frame 18 via abearing 20. Anoil pump 22 is attached to the lower end side of the rotatingshaft 12 and drains a lubrication oil in areservoir 23 formed inward of thelower lid 5. The lubrication oil is supplied to themotor 6, ascroll unit 30, etc. from the upper end of the rotatingshaft 12 via afluid passage 24 of the rotatingshaft 12, and serves to lubricate individual slide portions, bearings and so forth and seal a slide surface in the compressor. Further, aninlet port 19 for the lubrication oil is formed in theframe 18 at an adequate position, and the lubrication oil supplied to the individual slide portions in thecompressor 1 is reserved in thereservoir 23 via theinlet port 19 as will be described later. - The
unit 30 is disposed in thebody part 3 above themotor 6 to execute a sequence of processes of intake, compression and discharge of a coolant. Particularly, theunit 30 comprises a movable scroll body 52 and a fixedscroll body 32, and the movable scroll body 52 has aend plate 54 with which a scroll lap extending toward aend plate 34 of thefixed scroll body 32 is formed integral. By way of contrast, a scroll lap extending toward theend plate 54 is formed integral with theend plate 34 of the fixedscroll body 32. Those scroll laps cooperate to form a pressure chamber, which moves toward the center from the radial outer peripheral side of the scroll laps according to the revolution and turning motion of the movable scroll body 52 with respect to the fixedscroll body 32, and the volume is reduced at that time. - To apply a revolution and turning motion to the movable scroll body 52, a
boss 66 is formed on the lower surface side of theend plate 54, and is rotatably supported on aneccentric shaft 26 via abearing 28. Theeccentric shaft 26 is formed integral with the upper end side of the rotatingshaft 12. Note that the rotation of the movable scroll body 52 is inhibited by arotation inhibiting pin 68. - The
fixed scroll body 32 is fixed to themain shaft frame 14, and theend plate 34 partitions between the compression chamber and adischarge chamber 60. A discharge hole which communicates with the compression chamber is bored through theend plate 34 at an adequate position of the center portion of the fixedscroll body 32. This discharge hole is opened and closed by adischarge valve 62 disposed on the anti-scroll side of the fixedscroll body 32. The anti-scroll side of the fixedscroll body 32 including thedischarge valve 62 is covered with adischarge head 64 which suppresses sounds at the time of opening thedischarge valve 62. - After the lubrication oil in the
reservoir 23 is supplied to theunit 30, thebearings oil pump 22 and thefluid passage 24, the flow direction of the lubrication oil is restricted by flow-direction restricting means 80 at the time the lubrication oil flows downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30. - Specifically, the flow-direction restricting means 80 is configured to include a rotor cover (guide member) 82 which is fixed to a
top surface 7a of therotor 7 and guides the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30, and oil discharge passages (discharge passages) 84 which cause the lubrication oil guided to thetop surface 7a to flow to thereservoir 23, so that the flow direction of the lubrication oil supplied to theunit 30 and thebearings reservoir 23 to prohibit the flow-in of the lubrication oil toward thestator 8. - Referring also to a diagram-shown in
FIG. 2 in which therotor cover 82 is viewed from-an A-A direction inFIG. 1 , therotor cover 82 is formed like a cup or a bottomed cylinder having abottom portion 82a, an opening 82b and acylinder portion 82c. - Formed in the
bottom portion 82a approximately at a center thereof are a shaft hole where the rotatingshaft 12 is to be inserted, four holes which constitute parts of theoil discharge passages 84, and four holes which constitute parts ofinsertion holes 88 for caulkingpins 86, which will be described later. - Referring to the cross-sectional view shown in
FIG. 3 showing connection of only therotor cover 82, arotor 7 and arotating shaft 12 as viewed from a direction of B-B inFIG. 2 , therotor cover 82 surrounds therotating shaft 12 and thebottom portion 82a is caulked to thetop surface 7a by thecaulking pin 86. - The
caulking pins 86 are inserted into theinsertion holes 88 penetrating thebottom portion 82a and therotor 7 approximately in parallel to the rotatingshaft 12, and are caulked, so that therotor cover 82 is fixed to therotor 7. Theopening 82b is opened toward themain shaft frame 14, and thecylinder portion 82c extends at least until it encloses the lower end of themain shaft frame 14.
Further, the outside diameter of thecylinder portion 82c is set smaller than the outside diameter of therotor 7. - Accordingly, the
rotor cover 82 restricts the flow of the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 toward the interior of therotor cover 82 while integrally rotating with therotor 7, thereby prohibiting the flow of the lubrication oil into thestator 8. Although four sets of insertion holes 88 and caulking pins 86 are provided, a plurality of sets thereof have only to be provided and the number of sets is not restrictive. One set of the insertion holes 88 and the caulking pins 86 may be used to secure an unillustrated counter weight which adjusts the rotational balance of therotor 7. - The
oil discharge passages 84, like the insertion holes 88, are formed penetrating thebottom portion 82a and therotor 7 approximately in parallel to therotating shaft 12, so that the lubrication oil passing through theoil discharge passages 84 is collected in thereservoir 23 via theinlet port 19. It is preferable that a plurality of sets ofoil discharge passages 84 should be provided. - Referring to
FIG. 1 again, an oil/coolant partition mechanism (partition mechanism) 90 which partitions between a passage Fo (indicated by a solid-line arrow in the diagram) for the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 and a passage Fr (indicated by a broken-line arrow in the diagram) for the coolant discharged from themotor 6 is disposed between themain shaft frame 14 and thestator 8. - The
partition mechanism 90 is formed to have a verticalcylindrical part 90a protrusively provided on themain shaft frame 14 side, andcommunication holes 90b which constitute a part of the coolant passage Fr, and the lower end side of thepartition mechanism 90 is fixed to thestator 8. - The vertical
cylindrical part 90a encloses therotor cover 82 from thestator 8 side and is fitted in the lower end side of themain shaft frame 14, so that the flow of the coolant circulating in thehousing 2 through the passage Fr is prohibited from flowing into therotor cover 82, thus separating the passage Fr from the passage Fo. The communication holes 90b are a plurality of small holes bored in the outer surface side of the verticalcylindrical part 90a along the circumferential direction thereof. - The lower end side of a rectifying
member 92 which performs rectification while separating a coolant downward passage and a coolant upward passage constituting the passage Fr is fitted over thepartition mechanism 90, and the upper end side of a rectifyingmember 92 is fixed to themain shaft frame 14. - According to the above-described
compressor 1, the movable scroll body 52 makes revolving motion without rotating in accordance with the rotation of therotating shaft 12. The revolving motion of the movable scroll body 52 allows the coolant taken into thebody part 3 via asuction pipe 70 to be sucked into thescroll unit 30 from the outer surface side thereof. - Then, when the volume of the compression chamber is reduced, the high-pressure compressed coolant reaches the
discharge chamber 60 through the discharge hole, and sequentially passes through the clearance between the outer surface side of the verticalcylindrical part 90a of thepartition mechanism 90 and the inner surface side of the rectifyingmember 92, and the communication holes 90b through an unillustrated through hole penetrating theunit 30. Then, the coolant flows downward passing through clearances in the armature winding 9 in thestator 8, flows upward in the clearance between the outer surface side of thestator 8 and the inner surface side of thehousing 2, and then is fed out to thecompressor 1 through adischarge pipe 72. - The passage Fo for the lubrication oil flowing downward toward the
motor 6 after being supplied to theunit 30, thebearings rotor cover 82 and theoil discharge passages 84, and does not cross the coolant passage Fr, so that the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 is led to thereservoir 23 through theinlet port 19. - According to the embodiment, as described above, the lubrication oil in the
reservoir 23 is supplied to the slide portions of theunit 30 and thebearings oil pump 22 and thefluid passage 24, and serve to seal the slide surface in addition to their lubrication and cooling, and the direction of the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 is restricted by the flow-direction restricting means 80, which comprises therotor cover 82 and theoil discharge passages 84, thus inhibiting the flow of the lubrication oil toward thestator 8. Therefore, the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 is all promptly led to thereservoir 23 and stored therein without being scattered in thebody part 3. - As a result, the collection of the lubrication oil can be carried out efficiently, so that a failure of the
compressor 1 originating from insufficient supply of the lubrication oil, e.g., a deficiency, such as burning of the slide portions and thebearings compressor 1 and reduction of the manufacture cost of thecompressor 1 with a simple mechanism of having the cup-like rotor cover 82 caulked to thetop surface 7a of therotor 7, thereby improving the reliability of thecompressor 1. - In addition, as scattering of the lubrication oil in the
body part 3 can be prevented, contact of the lubrication oil flowing downward toward themotor 6 from theunit 30 with the coolant to be included therein is suppressed, making it possible to suppress the oil circulation rate (OCR) of the lubrication oil flowing outside thecompressor 1, and the suppression of the oil circulation rate improves the efficiency of each heat exchanger of the refrigeration system, enabling achievement of energy reduction of the refrigeration system. - The provision of the
partition mechanism 90 which inhibits flow of the coolant into therotor cover 82 prevents contact of the downward-flowing lubrication oil with the coolant to be included therein, thus making it possible to surely reduce the oil circulation rate and more surely prevent a failure of thecompressor 1 originating from insufficient supply of the lubrication oil. - Further, the downward-flowing lubrication oil is smoothly discharged to the
reservoir 23 via theoil discharge passages 84 formed penetrating thebottom portion 82a of therotor cover 82 and therotor 7, making it possible to collect the lubrication oil more efficiently and prevent a failure of the fluid machine originating from insufficient supply of the lubrication oil more reliably. - While the foregoing is the explanation of one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and can be modified in various forms without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Although the
scroll unit 30 to be used in a close type compressor is used in the embodiment, for example, other compressing mechanisms, expansion units or the like may be used as long as they execute a sequence of processes from intake of a coolant to discharge thereof in the closed type housing.
Although a carbon dioxide coolant is used as a working fluid in the embodiment, another working fluid may be used. It is to be noted however that when a carbon dioxide coolant which is compressed under high pressure is used, the plate thickness or the like of the closed container should be increased, but the use of the flow-direction restricting means 80 of the embodiment can secure a sufficient amount of lubrication oil without further increases in the weight, thickness, length and size of thecompressor 1.
